GROW IN HOPE

 

Advancing age and the disappointments of life can easily make us cynical and hopeless... Anna's hope in our heavenly Father and His promises grew with age!   

 
Hope grows with prayer and perseverance. Anna was pre-eminently a woman of great hope and faith. Her expectation was that God would fulfill all His promises for us. Filled with the gift of the Holy Spirit, she was found daily in the house of God, attending to Him in prayer and speaking prophetically to others about God’s promise to send a Savior. She is a model of all goodness to all believers as we advance in age. Advancing age and the disappointments of life can easily make us feel hopeless if we do not have our hope placed right in God. Anna’s hope in our heavenly Father and His promises grew with age. She never ceased to worship God in faith and to pray in hope.
 
Many have failed to appreciate the insights and wisdom that can be gained from the elderly, often dismissing them as to tedious. On the other hand, the elderly can find inspiration in Anna, imitating her brevity of speech, devotion, and generosity in being willing to serve in the temple at her advanced age.
 
Points to Pray and Ponder: This is truly something for each of us to think about today. What elderly person has God brought into your life to help you gain insight and wisdom on your journey and transformation? And how do we grow in hope?
